This eco-labelled Nordic Swan hotel in central Hamburg offers round-the-clock reception, free WiFi and a gym, only 200 metres from Gänsemarkt underground station.
Rooms take their cue from a water theme, with natural wood furnishings and large windows; every room comes with cable TV, air cooling, a work desk and a private bathroom, and many are also accessible for guests with limited mobility.
Mornings bring the chance to watch chefs at work in the open kitchen of the H2O Restaurant while tucking into an extensive breakfast buffet that includes gluten-free, lactose-free and organic choices. In the evening, the H2O Bar & Lounge at the heart of the hotel is the spot for a refreshing drink, and the inner courtyard terrace fills up fast whenever the weather cooperates.
Jungfernstieg, one of Hamburg's main boulevards, is 800 metres away, and the Hamburg Messe und Congress exhibition centre is about 2 km off; bikes can also be hired on site. Hamburg Airport is 14 km from the hotel, while Hamburg Central Station is just 2 km away.
